The recipe I am talking about today is “Aloo bhujia Sabzi / Bihari style dry aloo sabzi “. This North Indian style Aloo sabzi is a simple and delicious dry dish. The main flavour for this aloo bhujia subzi comes from the flavour of carom seeds. Ajwain infused potato roast is simply irresistible.It’s a kids pleasure recipe too .Awesome combination as sabzi for chapati/roti/poori/rice.
Aloo ki sabzi is a popular side dish that is prepared in every Indian household.There are many ways to prepare this side dish. This is my mum’s recipe and takes me down the memory lane!My dad was in a transferable job.There are different pros and cons of job relocation and major advantage is exposure to new locales. This aloo bhujia subzi recipe , my mom learnt in Bihar from one of her Bihari neighbours and was an instant hit at home.This used to be my favorite side dish as a kid and i used to pester her almost everyday to pack them in my lunchbox. She also used make them for our long train journeys as a combo with chapathi /poori. It would remain fresh even after 2-3 days. I prepared this sabji yesterday and served with pulkhas. Both works wonder and we had a filling and satisfying dinner.Quick to make and absolutely delightful!So here is my recipe of the simple stir fry of potatoes flavored with aromatic Indian spices (since original source of recipe was a Bihari neighbour , i assume its Bihari style )
